Hi list,
does anybody know a way to at least loosely ensure cross-platform compatibility of the fonts used both for pd objects/messages/comments and for guis as well?
I frequently see that patches put together in linux look ugly (sometimes unreadable) in win. Concerning the pd main font, it usually is smaller in Win than in linux. When changed from 10 to 12, it becomes bigger than in linux. The gui fonts (I mainly use helvetica) must be made smaller in win (compared to linux) in order to get a compatible look.
I think that one of the main advantages of pd is that it is rather platform-independnet, so a solution would really help here.
Thanks, Matthias

well ok, the last thing I could find was the statement that this is being worked on. What is the current status?
